You Don’t Have to be Great to Start, you Have to Start to be Great

Originally I planned for this post to be about what it’s like being married to a plastic surgeon. I get this question all the time. Why not write an entertaining article about it?! But after getting these photos back from our photographer, I realized these photos are about the both of us. To me, they exemplify how much we have grown as a couple since relocating to San Francisco in 2013. If you recall, last year I wrote a blog post Five Reasons I love San Francisco.

Well, as you can probably imagine, it was shocking for our friends and family to find out that we were moving to San Francisco five years ago. “But you’ve already established a practice.” “Do you know anyone in SF?” We’ll build a bigger and better practice and meet a lot of people, we thought to ourselves!
